Happy Friday, everyone. If you want a welcome headline, a FBS university held a full pads scrimmage in the state of Alabama yesterday.
The Jaguars ran 106 plays in their first scrimmage of fall camp, which was conducted under the lights at Hancock Whitney Stadium. The new, 25,000-seat on-campus facility is complete, and ready to host whatever version of a football season South Alabama is able to play amid the pandemic that has forced several conferences around the country — but not the Sun Belt — to shut down for 2020.
Alabama’s practice starts in earnest on Monday, with the new guidelines that allow 25 practices over 40 days to help manage any positive cases and subsequent quarantines.
